"If you cash out any amount from your PartyPoker.com account during the Bonus Period, but prior to making a qualifying deposit, you are ineligible for the deposit bonus."
Is this a new rule? I made a withdrawl a couple of days ago, when did the bonus period start? I've been waiting for a party reload for a while, hope i can make it...

Storm -
This has started coming up recently. Some people are being denied bonuses because they made any withdrawal in the previous 2 weeks. This is confirmed by eeeee at Empire for their June bonus. I had a withdrawal 19 days prior to that bonus, and they scrutinized me for two days before releasing the deposit.
Disclaimer: I don't know what exactly Party is saying in thier T&C. I just know some people have been denied recently under this new pretense.
Seems like the best course of action is to withdrawal your money the minute you clear a bonus so that you're back in play as soon as possible. I can't argue with that logic. I usually leave some money at a site, but this 20% deal is going to take $500, and how many $500s can you throw at a site before withdrawaling!?
They REALLY ought to put restrictions on bonuses that ENCOURAGE a player to stay, rather than bolt sooner.

Or, you just play at a site that isn't Party but still a skin with rakeback and not care as much.
Also, most people arent able to take advantage of the deposit bonus in full so they usually bust out anyway.

Yup. Play thru as fast as possible, withdraw asap, preferrably early in the bonus period, and the worst thing would be that you miss the next bonus. Leave cash there if you like, but waiting to withdraw exposes one to 15 days of no bonus from that room, so get the 15 days out of the way asap.
BTW, Empire did credit my most recent bonus, but I believe it was because the policy hit without warning and there was a backlash. It was handled poorly, so I imagine they will have the bonus's w/d time limits clearly stated in the future.

Also, fuck, stop complaining and be glad its only 7x the required amount. And not that shitty 15x the last Empire reload was. 700 raked hands is 3.5 hours 3 tabling 5/10 6 max and4 hours of quading any other full ring table. It adds $20/hour onto a win rate. I wouldn't be complaining too much to anyone and be thankfull they still offer reload bonuses.

I'm glad it's only 7x...I completely skipped the Empire reload. Though to be fair, wasn't the Empire reload 100% up to $100?

TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

I withdrew from Party in anticipation of thie July bonus 3 days ago. I just deposited and received the bonus with no problem.
I believe that 15-day rule applied only to Empire. Although that is a new stipulation from Party about not being able to withdraw during the bonus period and redepositing to get the bonus.

I didn't complain about the 15x, and am definitely not about to complain about the 7x. :P
I just checked Neteller, the cash is there, and I'm firing at this bonus directly after work today!

I have to admit this bonus is alot better then the 20x Multipoker and the 15x Empire one this past June(both of which I was unable to clear).I'm hoping I can take advantage of this one in time being I am out of the states at least until the last day of the bonus(race against the clock).
Hopefully Party keeps the reloads coming every month or so.......

Me too. I procrastinated with the Multi and Empire bonuses.....1100 hands yesterday, 500 hands the day before, and I'm planning on 700 today. Now I got a 5th window open for BJ. I am buttsore & tired.
But the PP skins are still the only reasonable game in town for 25-cent bonus clearing.

I had actually managed to get the Multipoker reload to 500 hands....then ran out of time pretty much.I found out yesterday though I may arrive back in the states in the nick of time to do the Party reload.
We'll see.............

Well, that was nice. Plenty of fish out for the holiday weekend. $300 in bonuses, $400 in winnings. At four tables of no-reads-play-my-cards-not-theirs-25NL -- schweet. Hit quads about 10 times this weekend -- was I overdue, or is that frequency expected in 2300+ hands?
